| I’m a mile away from where I belong
|
| I’m a mile away from home.
|
| I’m lying awake at the thought of you gone,
|
| And I’m a mile away from home.
|
| On top of the world he thought,
|
| Let down when he hit the spot
|
| Dead stare in the mirror as he drove.
|
| Had room for growing up
|
| He got cold feet so he had to run
|
| To a city with a history of love.
|
| Knowing she relies on me,
|
| But I’m on my way to an unpredicted fall.
|
| Feet under the covers now,
|
| Lips sealed tight till I here a sound;
|
| The sound of a soon redeeming call.
|
| I’m a mile away from where I belong
|
| I’m a mile away from home.
|
| I’m lying awake at the thought of you gone,
|
| And I’m a mile away from home.
|
| Now I know I never dreamed to be a movie star
|
| But I’m hiding in the Hollywood hills.
|
| I’ve learned regret from a cowards mouth,
|
| Would’nt let her know how I feel.
|
| Held up now I am stuck in line,
|
| Can barely get around on the 405.
|
| Headed downtown in a half-full automobile.
|
| Now but deep inside I see,
|
| The light I’m a runaway victim left alone.
|
| At night though you lay so far,
|
| We both stare out at the same old stars;
|
| Wishing for direction where to go.
|
| Oh, but I could never forget
|
| The guilty look in your eyes at the end.
|
| I walk the line like a merry-go-round,
|
| Thought I learned but I lost you again.
|
| And all at once if the world stops spinning
|
| Maybe you could let me win,
|
| Oh, but I could never forget
|
| The guilty look in your eyes at the end. |
